Recording cds "When I attempt to write a cd audio disk I get a message that the disk is full even though it's a new disk. Thanks for your help

Could be dirt inside the machine causing the problem, or the wrong type of disc being used.

this sounds like the cd ur trying to copy might be copyprotected is this possible ? if not copyprotected is the source cd a plus or a minus cd sometimes this will happen depending on source media . its also possible that the origional cd is slighly damaged meaning the burner cant read it . try testing with a simple project that will help verify if laser has gone outof alignment also try to see if your computer will read the origional disk ok good luck

Maybe it is a faulty disk. maybe there was a flaw in finalizing? What happens if your try it in another CD player?
CDRW have much smaller lands and pits than commercially produced CDs and players vary in their ability to tolerate burned CDs.

If you are attempting to burn mp3 files as an audio CD, then that's the problem. You cannot burn audio CDs from MP3 files. You have to burn MP3 files as a data CD and not as an audio CD. See excerpt taken from page 33 in the CDR420 user guide. "Prepares CDs that can be played on standard CD players. Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) uses uncompressed PCM, .wav files. The CDR420 does not convert MP3 files to PCM so MP3 files are ignored if you choose AUDIO as the CD TYPE"

Start by reloading the CD drivers

It's likely it's dirt on the CD lens. You can try cleaning it with a lens cleaning disc. But if the lens has been damaged it will never read the disc again, no matter how many times it is cleaned.

All you guys looking for AUDIO burner CDs' should try the MEMOREX CD-R MUSIC CDs. These are a new product, released to REPLACE the TDK XA80 AUDIO CDs.

Stocks are a bit low right now - but only because this is a new product - and people like me are buying up big.

'Tanya' at JB Hi Fi in Erina Fair on the NSW Central Coast, has promised me that she will be ordering plenty of these discs because she is aware of our dilema. Apparently Head Office of JB HiFi has also advised their numerous stores of this MEMOREX product and they should all be having them in stock shortly.

Product description:
Red cardboard box with 10 blank CDs in slim jewel cases. Marked "Memorex Music CD-R" 700MB (80min) Mine cost me $8.95c for this pack of ten.

These work fine on my stand alone, Hi-Fi LG dual tray burner and also on a mates' Pioneer CD burner. Good luck and thank God for Memorex!

some cd players will not read burnt cds

Hi, if the PC's are older than 3 years or the cdrom drives are near it's end of life, it will make problems to read some CDR's. If you recorded the CD's you are trying to read, try recording at less than 4X speed.
Sometimes, even "original" or "silver" CD's will make problems because they are not recorded correctly at the factory.
If the problem is with a CDRW drive, it applies the same theory, the recording laser is damaged or used up. It will not record a legible CD or DVD even if the software says that the record operation ended successfully.

check the laser eye of your player clean or replace.
